🎶 The concerts are done, the halls are now still,
With holiday cheer, our hearts are filled.
From classrooms to courtrooms, fields, and the stage,
Our Colts have shined brightly at every age.
🍎 To teachers and staff, so dedicated and strong,
You’ve guided with care all semester long.
To parents who support and cheer from the side,
Your partnership fills us with Colt Country pride. 🐴
❄️ Now it’s time for rest, joy, and cheer,
The holidays are here, and break is near!
Thank you, Colt Country, for all that you do—
We can’t wait for Semester Two! 💛💙🎄

𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆: You may have seen a post card in your mailbox this week. We are currently updating our census data of 0–5-year-olds in the district and are asking for your help.

Our new school bus "25" arrived today! The 2025 International IC CE was partially funded by a clean diesel grant. 25 will become our new activity bus; our current activity bus 22 will shift to a route bus.
We're excited for the improvements this will bring to our fleet, helping provide safe travel for students both on daily routes and to activities!
Join our school district!
The Colts Volleyball Team would like to show their support for anyone and everyone who might be fighting this battle. To support this fight, the volleyball team is selling "Spike Out Cancer" t-shirts, and the team encourages fans to wear the shirt to volleyball games during the month of October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. During October the volleyball team also sports pink jerseys for awareness.
The cost of the shirts is $20.
Proceeds from the sales of these shirts will be donated to a member of our community affected by cancer.
The deadline for orders is Monday, September 30th. Order online at: http://tiny.cc/83mnzz
